This "personal essay" she wrote for British Vogue, which is fine. I love that she has had a good divorce. https://www.vogue.co.uk/arts-and-lifestyle/article/gwyneth-paltrow-conscious-uncoupling But THIS:
"I have talked about many things over the years that people called me crazy for: yoga, reiki, macrobiotics, gluten-free food, anything about vaginas... The negativity that surrounded each one lives on on the internet. It became just part of the cycle: I, or we at Goop, introduce something unfamiliar, there’s a big reaction, before gradual cultural adoption." She totally misses the point. People don't think she's crazy because she does yoga or eats healthy. People are pissed that she thinks she INVENTED this stuff and is kind enough to bestow it on the rest of us. |
| Haha. We in the general public are turned off by the ego-centrism of celebrities, and none of them realize they are who centric. This belief that they need to, or should, “teach” us. |
Dude. The candle that smells like her vagina IS INNOVATION. Applaud it. |
Hahahah Fine, I'll give her a point for the vagina candle. But she doesn't get credit for "yoga" or popularizing yoga okay? Did you hear the story from two years ago, she told a receptionist at a yoga studio, "You have this job because I've done yoga before." https://www.scarymommy.com/gwyneth-paltrow-quote-invented-yoga/ |
| And here I thought she was insufferable just because she's a terrible actress who wouldn't be where she is without her rich and famous parents. |
| Just imagine her leaning and sticking her face in her ...woooo. That tells you how crazy she is. |
| I thought she was insufferable because she bought six limes for her SNAP challenge. |
I don't think she's crazy to talk about yoga, gluten free, vaginas. I think she's crazy to suggest that eating gluten free is "healthy" for people who have no problem with gluten and downright DANGEROUS to suggest steaming one's vagina. The vagina is, as I told my daughter, like a self-cleaning oven. You just have to spot-clean it. She's nuts to tell people to shove things up there. |
Maybe I don't follow her closely enough, but I never thought she claims to invent this stuff. I just see her as totally out of touch and mega woo and it is 40% endearing and 60% appalling. |
| Some of us don't care. And some of us wonder why you care so much. |
| Did anyone watch the GOOP Netflix series? Oh man. |
| She is so depressing because I loved the movie Proof (it was a fav of mathematicians, I remember seeing reviews in academic journals) and loved her in it. Who she is is so completely counter to that. |
No but now I’m Intrigued |
LOL that's because she's an actor. |
| She grew up rich, and has been famous for a very long time. She is self absorbed and thinks she’s way more important than she is. |
